— Hammer Bro.

Hammer Bros. are species of a Koopa Troopa. In the first three Paper Mario games, their helmets are blue. Their shells are green like their appearance in other Mario games, whereas Fire Bros. and Boomerang Bros have red and black shells, respectively. In battle, they will attack by throwing their hammers, like in most of their other appearances; these can shrink Mario if not guarded against. As Goombario states, they throw many hammers at once if they are desperate.

Paper Mario[]

They guard Bowser's Castle and also serve as one of the enemies potentially summoned by Kammy Koopa in Shy Guy's Toy Box.

The Thousand-Year Door[]

They appear in the Rogueport Sewers halfway through Mario's journey. One Hammer Bro, known as Hamma Jamma, is also a fighter in the Glitz Pit.

Goombella's book supposedly fails to explain how they can carry an endless amount of hammers.

Super Paper Mario[]

They attack like they do in the main Mario series, and are either seen guarding Bowser, or guarding Castle Bleck; the ones found in the latter were brainwashed by Nastasia. They now have a stronger sibling known as the Dark Hammer Bro.

Sticker Star[]

They appear in most Worlds, starting with World 2, and now have a new appearance based on the core Mario series. Their helmets are green, they wear green shoes, they are taller, and the hammer they throw now has a stone head rather than a wooden one.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[]

Color Splash[]

They retain their Sticker Star design and are first found in The Golden Coliseum. A counterpart known as a Chariot Bro directly assists Iggy in his battle. They also have another counterpart, Juggler Bros., that works as part of the Emerald Circus. Their last appearance is alongside other Bros (Fire Bros., Ice Bros., and Boomerang Bros.) in Black Bowser's Castle.

Trivia[]

  • In the original Paper Mario, Hammer Bros. have tails, but in the other games, they do not, despite their 3D counterparts having tails.
